Just Say No

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Attention party people, it's an A.P.B That is an all-points bulletin from Young MC Now whether you're a senior citizen or just a tyke Just grab a seat and pay attention as I rock the mic I wrote a couple of rhymes, I call 'em "Just Say No" Dedicated to the people who are on the go And they can help you out if you're on the brink And if you listen, this jam will make you think If you are ever in a situation Without enough time for contemplation All of your friends go in the same way You feel kind of trapped, you don't know what to say Just say no, 'cause better safe than sorry This is for real, this ain't no game or folly It's your life and you've only got one So you better do it right or it will soon be done You want to be popular, you want to be cool You want to be the one that everybody likes at school You want be everything just for everyone else But you better think of what you wanna be for yourself Every day, people livin' in the same old mess Hard to be original and not be like the rest You gotta go for what you know, you can't afford to guess And heaven knows what would happen if you did say yes [Hook] So say no Just say no You hear me? Say no Just say no [Verse 2] Kids O.D. and cause a family's grief Over the marijuana plant and the coca leaf Or a bunch of pills to try to get their thrills Over a drug you shoot, because you think's it cute Over something you smoke, man, it ain't no joke Over somethin' you drink, homeboy, why don't you think? Over something you snort, like you were playing a sport One day you'll go too far and then you'll come up short Some people out there don't seem to get my point Telling others "Crack Kills" while they're smoking a joint But the point of this song is to tell you the facts Some people die from smoking reefer like they die from crack Not a drug in particular, but drugs in general They're not good for you, like a vitamin or a mineral They come in liquid, leaves, powder, pills and rocks Can put you six feet under on your back in a box [Hook] So say no Just say no Do you hear me, say no Just say no
